Movie effects, typed not composited.
The AI VFX generator adds effects straight into footage you already shot. Upload a clip, describe what should happen — sparks, rolling fog, a lightning strike, a portal opening — and it lands in the scene.
What it is
VFX without a VFX artist.
Compositing an effect normally means tracking, masking, layers and a render queue. Here you describe the effect and the AI places it in the shot, matching the perspective and the light so it sits inside the scene instead of floating on top of it.
How it works
Your result in three steps
Upload your video
Start with the clip that needs the effect. Steady, well-lit shots hold effects best.
Describe the effect
Type what should happen: thick fog rolling in from the left, the sign catching fire, sparks off the metal.
Generate & download
Play it back, refine the wording if the scale or timing is off, then download the clip.

Grounded
Effects that sit in the scene
An effect only works when the perspective and lighting agree with the footage. The AI reads the shot and matches angle, scale and color so the effect belongs where you put it.
- Matches perspective and scale
- Picks up the scene's lighting
- Stays put through the camera move

Prompt driven
Describe it, don't composite it
No tracking markers, no layer stack, no overnight render. Write what should happen and run it again with new wording until the beat lands.
- Plain-language effect prompts
- Re-run for a different look
- No compositing software

Short-form ready
Built for clips you'll post
Effects render into the clip at its original length and aspect ratio with the audio intact, so it's ready for the platform you're cutting for.
- Vertical and widescreen
- Original audio kept
- Same resolution in and out

More answers
More about adding effects to video
How do I control when the effect happens?+
Put the timing in the prompt — "the fog rolls in as she turns" — and trim the clip so the moment you care about is inside it.
Can I stack more than one effect?+
Yes, in passes. Generate the first effect, download it, then run that clip through again for the second.
Does the audio change?+
No. Your original audio passes through. Add effect sound in your editor afterwards.
What footage gives the best result?+
Steady framing, even light and a clear subject. Heavy motion blur makes an effect harder to place convincingly.
